Well...FINALLY, here's Chapter Five ^_^
The Forgotten Enchantment
Chapter Five
A tall, beautiful lady she is. Her skin is as white as snow. Her hair is as black as the shadows of the night. I usually see her in a ripped, old, blackish wedding dress. She always haunts my dreams, she’s chasing me. I know she’s trying to show a sign to me, but I can’t understand it. Sometimes I feel so dumb when I’m in the middle of a vision.
My ability is one of a kind, I’m the only one who has it. I could see what life hides for us, I could be prepared for everything that could happen to me.
I hide it, I pretend that I don’t like it. I actually enjoy watching that lady.
Most people wouldn’t like her because she wears black, but I like her obsession with black. The only problem is I don’t know if she’s real or not. I only see her in my lifeless, silent visions.
It all started in the vision I could never forget…It was after a few months of my silent visions of her.
She was in her gloomy garden, outside near the fountain. The stones looked old and seemed like they were about to break. She was staring at the colorful roses and lovely violets around, staring the flame burning inside some sort of unburnable box. Her garden was incredibly dark, the roses were the only bright thing.
What broke the heavenly feeling of that vision was her anger, it made the silence vanish in one second.
She was peacefully sitting on the edge of the fountain, but when she stared at this blinding light something sort of gave a reminiscent to her.
She started walking quickly around the garden with anger burning inside her at the same time. She walked by the roses and violets while darkening its beauty. She placed her hand in the fountain and turned the water black. The flame turned deep ebony, and she grabbed it and started burning her arm.
For one second I thought she was Amber, but then I remembered that she is already burning. So the flames don’t hurt her, nor burn her skin.
She acted like she didn’t feel the pain, her hand was burning from the dark flames. She was near the fountain again. She sat on the edge of the fountain, and fell inside the dark water straight after her final breath.
A vision I could never forget, ever since that happened I became so quiet. So quiet that even Sean, my new father, became worried about me.
I should be happy that I live in such a huge and fancy house, I get everything I want. The only thing I want is for us to return back to normal, to return back to Aromabell. I’m not thankful, and never will be. Why should I be proud of this life I’m ashamed of? I can’t even visit my hometown.
I was so worried that the lady in the vision was Sailaira. She could be a bit of crazy sometimes, she takes risks at all times. I thought maybe, darkness would’ve finally taken over her that time.
How could her bright purple hair turn dark black? Maybe it isn’t her.
But what if it is her? Her skin is as white as that lady I saw, but how could her violet eyes possibly turn into deep black?
I’ve been raised to believe in anything, since I lived in a legendary city. Anything could happen in there since there are many tales about amazing, yet weird, things happening in Aromabell. I know all of the tales since I was the only one who was very interested in it between all of my sisters.
“Laira!” yelled Sean “Your Espeon is on the table again!” Sunlight was always breaking the ‘number one rule’ and it’s for Pokemon never to get on the table. Mossdeep is very noisy, I don’t like it. I’d rather live in a quiet place.
Sean doesn’t know about my abilities, we rarely spend any time together. I just grabbed Espeon and walked to my room. It was a huge room, mostly pink in color. I really didn’t like it since I was usually blind from too much pink in my eyes. I’m just living with it, so I won’t complain.
Espeon could share my visions, see them with me. She rarely does though. I just sat on my bed with fear inside me from that recent vision. I closed my eyes and focused on nothing, so a vision would come to me. That was when I felt like I was dead on my bed, but I could see the vision.
There was mist, the vision was unclear and vague. There was someone slowly appearing in front of me, she was short and it looked like her black hair was tied in a short ponytail. Her image got even clearer, and I got to see that she had black eyes. She was a normal little girl, wearing a T-shirt and jeans.
“Hello.” I wanted to start a conversation with the little girl, but she didn’t answer.
“What’s your name?” She gave no reply again.
If she wasn’t going to give me any reply then I’ll just do the same with her. I’ll just hopelessly sit down while the mist is covering me.
I stared at her for some time. The silence was killing me.
Her eyes started to glitter, but she still had a stubborn look in her face.
I was falling inside random thoughts, I started thinking about absolutely anything.
Then I asked myself, how come I was able to talk in this vision?
I noticed that I wasn’t in the middle of a vision. I was transported to another place. I know I didn’t teleport since this wasn’t an ordinary area.
I started to shiver. The little girl noticed as she was focusing on me all the time. She drew an evil smile on her face.
“W-where am I?” I asked the little girl, showing my fear.
“Where you are…Is where you aren’t.” She gave me a pointless reply. I didn’t understand what she said. See what I meant with ‘I feel dumb when I’m in the middle of a vision’ but this time I was absolutely sure, this is not a vision.
I tried to escape out of this frightening place but I couldn’t.
Her deep black eyes started to glow red, and the field around me started to turn to someplace that looked like…
Aromabell.
I knew I had to get out of there, or else I’ll end up being kidnapped.
“Where you are is where you aren’t.” she repeated the same sentence she said before.
Well, since she was repeating it I tried to figure out what that sentence meant.
“You can’t escape from where you aren’t. You’re always in somewhere you aren’t in, Laira.” She repeated in a much nicer tone.
I really didn’t care how she knew my name, I was just trying to find a way to escape from ‘Where I’m aren’t’
“Do I have to explain this to everyone?” I said “The world has to stop thinking in a very stupid way, sheesh you’re going to work good at a theater.” I told her that because it was my only answer. This whole thing is a joke.
She grabbed my hand in a hard way and held it roughly, she started walking to a house I’ve never seen before in Aromabell. It had a fountain, its stones looked like they were about to break. The garden had a few wilted roses and violets around. There was a black fire burning in some sort of box. There was a piece of fabric coming out of the fountain.
It was the same place I had that vision of the lady. I quickly rushed to the fountain to find her dead in there.
The little girl let go of my arm, leaving blood on it. I was so close to faint, I knew this was a nightmare I couldn’t get out of.
“Jenjer Firespeller.” she whispered to my ear.
